EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
[1.43] The Great Resignation
- A term that has come from WEF
- In 2021, 41% of employees were planning to leave their job (Europe and USA)
- Gartner’s Innovation Expert, Aaron McEwen believes there is data that shows it’s going to impact Australia in March 2022.
What’s behind the Great Resignation?
- Companies who have their values aligned with their employees, are growing their employees, and are purpose led – will be fine.
- Companies who will be most impacted will be because of a lack of career opportunities, no pay rises, lack of appreciation and recognition
- Post pandemic values misalignment – no longer congruent with employee values
- Poor company culture
- Lack of work/life balance and flexibility
- Overseas work
